Learning NServiceBus Sagas
NServiceBus (NSB) is the most popular Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) for C#. This learning guide will equip you with the skills to develop and design NSB sagas and NSB messaging. The first few chapters will discuss the basics of SOA, gradually leading you into the detailed topics of NSB. In the next chapters, NSB platform services will be covered for monitoring, designing in Visual Studio, and operational pulses on NSB. Many example architectures will be explained using ASP.NET Model-View-Controllers, Entity Frameworks, NHibernate, MSMQ, RabbitMQ, SQL Server queues, ActiveMQ, and MongoDB. Finally, endpoints will be extended using sagas to integrate them into secure protocols such as Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and C# web services. By the end of this book, you will be able to design, build, and test NServiceBus sagas and perform message handling. ...
